I am writing to inform you that today I ended a 10-year business relationship with EyeMasters because of the sign posted at the front of your location in the Arbor Walk shopping center, advising via Texas Penal Code 30.06 that law-abiding citizens who are licensed by the state of Texas to legally carry concealed handguns are not welcome in your store.

The sign on the front of your store denies me my right to be prepared to defend my life. And that is simply unacceptable to me. I will take my business elsewhere.

Sincerely,

I'm wondering if y'all think I should mention to them that their tiny little sign is non compliant.

Complain if you want but never tell them their sign isn't compliant. Unless your goal is getting them to post a compliant sign.
